Made it back in town. About a foot of snow in Virginia when I was there. All the schools were closed Monday and they don't really plow subdivisions or too much of secondary roads, but the main roads out were done and it warmed up to be melting by Monday morning, so it was a decent drive back.

Travel south... check Buffalo weather looks good for the weekend... but didn't bother to check Virginia weather. So stuck down here in the snow till Monday now as I would rather not try driving home Sunday in this area with thus snow. Guess I had to find some snow this winter! Lol

Regroups dropped. I'm heading out of town, so will probably pick this back up Sunday night.

I clicked the reinforcements too. So the map should be all set for 8G2.

I dunno, Zone B is more or less beside the point at this stage. It's true you could play it This way or That way, and there's merits to both, but it's not going to change the overall odds much. But I could be wrong.

The Zone B 12SS units sitting there were like the end of Return of the Jedi with the empire fleet waiting as Luke and Vader battled in front of the emperor... it definitely had me fearing a mud roll. Kinda a damned if you do, damned if you don't since moving them could have disrupted a bunch and been even worse off than hoping for mud and not getting it.

I would have cracked under the pressure, but you 1st Minn guys just love holding the 12SS in Zone B. It really has me questioning the Buffalo method of deploying them sooner under interdiction rolls.

Heck, I was even considering of a Leroy Jenkin's ranger assault 5:6 vs the four d1 units to try and force some running by the 12SS

We do play quick online. Dice have been either up high or down big throughout the game. I have just gotten lucky that my recent Caen rolls happened on the up swings.

I'm game for another if we wrap this one up. It could be labeled Padawan Pro Bowl or Padawan Revenge Bowl, but I agree it sucks when tournament games get overly effected by the dice. Sometimes I wonder if a 2d4 attack/defense dice system would work better than 2d6, but the EOD being linked to the 2d6 would need tweaking and probably be less elegant than the current system. Hmm... maybe the allies player chooses which to roll but both have same EOD effects. Definitely would need play testing.

That's the game; we'll play it out into the 8th so you can take your assault and make it official. I'll move later. It's always a blast when a game doesn't even make it a week in real-time.
